Placement Testing

All future students who plan to complete any degree program or accumulate nine semester hours of college credit must complete a placement test. The placement test is given on all three Paul D. Camp Community College sites—Franklin, Suffolk, and Smithfield. Future students will be tested on reading, writing, and mathematics proficiency skills. Placement testing also includes the READI test to determine computer competency and readiness.

Future students, who feel they need additional help after taking the Online Practice Test, may access the following quality resources. Listing of Online Resources for VPT-English provides a wealth of support for language skills and the VPT MathSite will provide greater supplemental support for math skills. The VPT MathSite provides sample math problems and links to online resources that correspond to each section of the math placement test.
